Suffolk Invasion

Players from across the border dominated the 56th Colchester Open, played at the University of Essex on 23rd / 24th March 2013. In the Women's events Isobel Lucas defeated her doubles partner, Kim Gormer, in the Singles final and together the girls went on to win the Doubles. Similarly Dan Moss defeated David Poole at the semi-final stage before coming out on top of a marathon final against our own Joe Skornia.

Restoring some Essex pride Michelle and Simon won back the Mixed title, making it the third year in a row that Stanway has held the title as Craig and Ging won it last year. In the veterans events the Mixed title went to Sally Taylor and James Cesareo while Alistair Bowen and Paul Belcher from Chemlsford took the Mens.

All the match results can be found on the Tournament Software website.

Colchester 1* Report

Stanway Junior club members turned in some great performances in the Colchester 1* tournament last weekend. Robyn Cura was our main star picking up two medals; a silver in the Y8/9 Girls Singles and a gold with Millie Jackson in the Girls Doubles.

Oliver Tiller-Wood won his pool in the Boys Singles Y5/6 but was knocked out in the semi-final stage by Lewis Doyland of Chipmunks who went on to lose to fellow Chipmunk James Martin. Chipmunks had a good day but winners were evenly spread across the junior clubs.

Jack Swain put in our best performance in a very tough Y10/11 competition reaching the quarter-finals. While Shane Monks and Lewis Ward progressed well in the consolation event.

Thanks to everyone who entered.
